What's first mod?

Next weekend I will pick up my 2009 Cyber Gray 3LT Z51 convertible with manual transmission. So my question is, what's the first modifications I should do?
I was thinking about the "Corvette 360-2 Lockpick" as I'd really like a back up camera. But what else should I be looking at?

Window tint is always one of the first things I do, painting the calipers is another simple mod that most seem to like. Have fun with the new ride!

I'd go with front splash guards and the 1-3 shift eliminator. Maybe a bra to.

Mods

Mods are a personal choice.Every body has their own idea what mods they like. I have a friend that mods the engine and the trannie. He never does anything to the body.My other friend mods the interior of his vehicle. There isn't any set rule.Install the mods you like and forget about the others.Its your car and your MONEY.Some owners spend some serious money modding their cars.Rod

I added a padded center console first, because I'm apparently a giant sissy.

Tint is next up, then LED taillights. Will black out the halo & wheels, and tint the reflectors at some point too
